People who sold gold to buy Bitcoin made a huge mistake,” he said.The Refinancing QuestionSchiff’s core argument centers on whether lenders would refinance Strategy’s debt if Bitcoin crashes to $8,000 and stays there. At that price, Strategy would hold Bitcoin worth far less than its debt obligations.Saylor dismissed this scenario earlier on CNBC, saying “If you think it’s going to zero, we’ll deal with that. But I don’t think it’s going to $8,000.” He framed Strategy’s leverage as half the typical investment-grade company with “50 years worth of dividends in Bitcoin.”However, the math gets ugly. Strategy holds 714,644 Bitcoin at a $76,056 average cost. At $8,000, those holdings would be worth $5.7 billion versus a $54.35 billion purchase cost—a $48.6 billion unrealized loss.BTC Technical RealityBitcoin is bouncing from the $62,000-$63,000 capitulation low. The Supertrend at $79,499 remains well above price in bearish mode. Critical support at $80,000-$85,000 was decisively broken, confirming severe technical damage.Immediate support sits at $62,000-$65,000. Breaking below triggers panic selling toward $60,000 or potentially $55,000-$58,000. The RSI at 32.74 shows oversold conditions but no bullish divergence suggesting major reversal.For recovery, Bitcoin needs to reclaim $70,000, then work toward $80,000-$85,000. Breaking above the Supertrend at $79,499 would signal stabilization.Image: ShutterstockMarket News and Data brought to you by Benzinga APIs© 2026 Benzinga.com.
